Kelley Automatic Music Co. of Albany, New York
By Bruce Clark

Regarding 090713 MMDigest, Kelley Automatic Music Co. of Albany, New
York, I think Robbie is correct.  Mr. Kelley was the route operator.
On our Seeburg L, the plate at the coin slot reads "H. L. Kelly,
Albany - Syracuse".

When an elderly neighbor lady, Edna Johnston (now deceased), saw our
Seeburg L nickelodeon and the name plate, it brought back memories
to her.  She told me that she dated H. Lloyd Kelly during the 1920s
and remembered accompanying him a few times on his various routes in
Syracuse, and collecting nickels from various machines.
